Heidi Irene Bensch

Heidi Irene Bensch, affectionately known as "Bean Love" went home to Heaven on Wednesday, July 16, 2025, in Beatrice. She was born on November 11, 1983, in Burien, Washington, and joined sisters Mindy, Annie and Amanda. She spent much of her life in Washington State and Arizona, later making Beatrice her home. Heidi was a unique, sarcastic, funny, and poetic soul. She had a passion for horror shows karaoke, shopping, and online games. Her loyal companion, her cat Skye, was by her side and brought her endless comfort and joy. Bean Love had a heart of gold and left a lasting impact on everyone who knew her. Heidi is truly missed by her family and friends. Heidi is survived by her mother, Robin Butler of Blue Springs, NE; her sisters: Mindy Miksch of Ephrata, WA; Annie Meredith (Mike) of Kingman, AZ; Amanda Bensch (Loren) Clemens of Wymore, NE; Brenda Averett of Beatrice NE; brother Kurt Louis Oxos of Moses Lake, WA; and dear friend Jeanette Behrens of Beatrice.She is also survived by many aunts, uncles, nieces, nephews, and cousins who love her dearly. She now joins her brother, Bradley William Butler; her maternal and paternal grandparents; and her uncle, Louis Eddie Butler in Heaven. Heidi's family would like to give a special thanks to our dear friends, Gayla (Rock) Belden, Sharon Schuster, Amy Penner, Julie Fisher (Craig), Corinne Discher, Julie Rasmussen, Deb (Devin) Dorn, Kylie and all the Cottonwood Hospice family, Shelly and Donna at OUR in Lincoln. Last, but not least, Todd Dierberger, Lawrence (LP) Penner and Zach Coffin at Harman Wright Mortuary. We are grateful for the many family and friends that surrounded our family with love. There will be a private family memorial service for Bean Love. Memorials are suggested to the family's choice with a later designation.
